Make Shift Benches

[thething84]

OK Guys.

Well i live  in a rented house and don't have a huge shed to convert or anything. so i am looking at those of you who also don't have a specific workshop.

what do you have as a makeshift bench. at the moment i have a workmate, with a piece of veneered chipboard on. but just curious to other ideas really.

Cheers

Hi James,

At the moment I am using a couple of old bedroom cabinets with a 6 foot chunk of worktop on top for working on hulls, (although I do have the use of a spare room for this!) or the dining room table for the smaller bits, although sometimes that doesn't go down too well     

I supose it depends what size of models you want to build!

all the best

My "Workbench" consists of the living room floor, or the kitchen worktop - But I do have a very understanding wife!

most of the time I'm using a large cardboard box with a piece of chipboard on top, and a piano stool!
